These two people are Caucasians, yes they White. Only a white person would type foolishness like this on a black run website.

Racism exists in the UK stop fooling yourselves. White peope fear black people in the work place, for what reason i have yet to understand but i believe Jealousy as a great part to do with it.

The fact that if a black person should get as far as to reaching the interview process, they will most likely sit before an interview panel that is predominantly white, thus holding the power to employ them or not ? and then so that it doesn't look entirely bad, they might sprinkle the odd asian in whom also have a strong dislike for black people. Let me tell you, the odds are not good.

This isn't about defeatism, I can truely see where viola is coming from. Its about having the odds stacked against you before you even start and its no use burying our heads in the sand and saying prejudice and racism does not play a part in the interview process, it doesn't help the matter.

I have been in many an interview, where across the table i'm speaking to from two to four white people at one time, you telling me that out of that number i'm not having to deal with at least one who holds a prejudice who will not then use that prejudice to influence the rest of the panel, if at all the rest of the panel don't hold them same prejudice anyway ?

In this country (UK)black people have a naivety when it comes to who we are actually facing, who we are actually up against ? we think that the panel being all white is not by design, its by accident. That two blacks in a company of say 150 strong staff, is accidental, in the middle of a city filled with diverse communities. You have not comprehended your enemy and yes i said it, an ENEMY. When apeople agree and put in place a plan that will stop you and yours frombeing able to provide food for your own, thats an enemy. I know he/she might look across the table from you with all smilesand appearing harmless, but white people would rather employ white people ? and watch the rest starve around them, understand their nature ? see it for what it is, and then yes deal with it. Don't bury your heads in the sand.

Sometimes i oftenfeel like asking in interviews, really what is my chance ofgetting this job. If i was to look at the ethinicmake up of your company or the team i am about to join, what are my chances? Or couldiquickly meet the team that i am to join ... that often will give you an idea of your chances. It don't matter sometimes how qualified you are, look at the pattern already set within the managers work environment, for he is the one that as set it and ask yourself, if you see no diversity why ?

White people have amental disease that they nurse called racism and it helps them to keep power.

Then they try to Jedi mind trick the masses into believing they are a people that deal fairly ? when what they actually do says otherwise.
